Digital Images-Flat & Dated but Impressive Take on Old Data

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 2015)

The Director has Talent and so do some of the Actors (Cillian Murphy, Brendan Gleeson, Naomie Harris) and all Contribute to make this an Above Average Entry into the Tired Zombie Genre. Although, Technically Not Zombies, it is still on its Surface a "Zombie" Flick.
The Villains are clearly Not the Infected but are...In the First Act Well Meaning Animal Rights Activists...In the Final Act the Military.
Danny Boyle's Post Modern Digital Display looks Unimpressive on Blu-ray and Big Screen TVs and His "Found Footage" Low-Budget use of Hand-Held and Quick Editing and Manic Camera is used with some Restraint and in its Time was Not as Overused as it is Today. The Style made for some Interesting and Exciting Action and Gore.
The Movie also Displays a rather Effective Rhythm, contrasting Slow Moving rather Impressive Exposition Shots of Aftermath Punctuated with the Hyper-Look of the Attack Scenes. The Canon Staccato Worked in 2002 because it hadn't Been Done, excuse please, To Death.
Overall, the Movie Works More than it Doesn't and was a New Look to an Old Story. Recommended for Horror Fans and B-Movie Makers Who might glean a Few Pointers on how to make a Hand-Held, No Budget Movie with some Pull-Back.
